Abstract From this brief review it appears that determinations of molecular weight averages, of molecular weight distributions, and of compositional inhomogeneity of binary copolymers, require care in the choice of techniques and methods. Some of the most commonly used techniques for molecular weight determinations on homopolymers of various kinds are inadequate for the same determinations on copolymers. Others are more sensitive to fluctuations in composition than in molecular weights. Osmotic methods are the only one which are really insensitive to inhomogeneity, and which yield molecular weights. Ultracentrifugation in a density gradient yields precise information only on fluctuations in composition. Viscosity determinations require calibration, but even so, they may lead to erroneous values of the molecular weight in the case of copolymers. GPC is less sensitive to compositional heterogeneity, but cannot be applied for nonlinear copolymers. Finally, light scattering is a very powerful tool for studies on copolymers, since it leads to molecular weight averages and its helps characterize polydispersity and fluctuations in composition.

Using irradiation inactivation analysis of specific [3H]phenytoin binding to rat brain we have demonstrated that there are two different binding sites involved, with molecular weights of 73 238 ± 1535 (higher affinity site) and 108 121 ± 6935 (lower affinity site).

Abstract 1. Experiments on the determination of the molecular weights of natural rubber and other high-molecular compounds by the methods of light scattering and osmometry are reported. 2. An osmometer of new design, suitable for determining molecular weights, is described. 3. It is shown that the method of light scattering yields values for molecular weights which are in satisfactory agreement with those obtained by the method of osmometry.
